When Amazon altered the Account Health page, they began listing products that have been recently recalled or been found to have restricted ingredients. Before this, they let us know, closed the listing, and told us not to ship any that were in our inventory. It never appears as if they counted it against us on our metrics. Now I am not so sure. Does anyone know this answer? We sell a lot of grocery and health and beauty products, so new restrictions and recalls are common. If we should be doing something else in response to these notifications, we need to know.

We knew we were responsible for restricted products on Amazon’s restricted products list, but there is no way to know if a product was recalled by the company, due to the product coming in contact with peanuts in the factory, until Amazon lets us and our customers know.

If you are sourcing your products from someone who is notnotifying you of these types of issues directly then I’d be questioning your supplier’s credentials.

Amazon considers many notifications as a ‘Dangerous’ product which is not necessarily a recall.

We have had a ton of Plush toys over the years flagged by Amazon as recalls, and when we contacted Mary Meyer or Gund about the recalls, they were just advisories put out because of an age classification or a State issue (California Prop for example)
